 FACT & FRICTION, November 17, 2009
By arlmar (new port richey, fl)
|
|
Until Chamois Butt'r my cycling was always an uncomfortable event. Originally I used Penaten Cream having slathered this on all 5 of my kid's bottoms when they were still in diapers. But it was messy & hard to wash out. I discovered this product a few years ago when I got a small sample at a charity ride. Since then I never ride, or paddle or in-line skate or even hike without it. You can apply it to any & all of your "delicate" areas, & especially for women's "crotch" there is NO stinging or burning affect. I put it on my feet before my boat shoes go on for kayaking & I never get blisters or wrinkly skin. I use it where ever there might be a chance of friction ... legs, toes, chest etc. It lasts a long time. It never stains my clothing & is easy to wash out.

Good stuff for Ergomaniacs, September 16, 2006
By Thomas B. Gross (Winchester, MA USA)
|
|
I do a 10K on a Concept II Ergometer (indoor rowing machine) virtually every morning. After about 10 months of this I developed a sore spot from chafing about the size of a quarter on my butt. I found this stuff in a bicycle shop, marketed to bicyclists with a similar problem. Now I smear it on my butt before every workout, and it has worked both as a cure and a preventive measure. I missed nary a workout while my skin healed itself, thanks to Chamois Butt'r. Excellent product. Expensive, but worth every penny.

 Works well, November 30, 2009
By Tigers Fan (Michigan)
|
|
I do like this chamois cream. It does the job that it is supposed to do. Long rides become more comfortable. I do however, like the tub version better with the cooling cream.

 Mineral Oil Based- Known skin carcinogen or cancer-promoter, July 13, 2011
By Joel Grant (Bloomington, IN USA)
|
|
I really wanted to give this product a try as a chaffing preventative, but given that amazon did not list the ingredients I should not have ordered it without further research. I value my reporductive health, so it will be going back unopened.
The second ingredient in this product is petroleum derived mineral oil, a byproduct of petrochemical refinement and always contains harmful polycyclic aromatic compounds even if it is food-grade or cosmetic grade. I've studied toxicology formally and will be the first to say that your groin is no place for petrochemicals. The skin in those sensitive areas is over 100 times more absorbent (<1% of the protection) of lipophilic compounds compared to your hands. There are peer reviewed studies which demonstrate that cosmetics formulated with food grade mineral oil increase the frequency of skin cancers in hairless mice.
Mineral oil is not a necessary active ingredient, it is an extemely cheap petro-chemical filler which is easily substituted with plant derived compounds not featuring benzene rings.
Dissapointed. It may work great...but simply not okay.

 OK but there are far superior alternative products, June 3, 2010
By Delusions of an Amateur Racer (Santa Barbara, CA)
|
|
While Chamois Butt'r is better than nothing, my top picks are DZnuts (or DZbliss for women) and Assos. Both the DZnuts and Assos are far FAR better creams in my experience.

It Works, November 29, 2008
By Careful shopper (Tampa, Florida)
|
|
Simply put..this stuff works. I bike about 75 miles a week and this is the first cream that has never let me down. Another advantage is that it doesn't make your bike shorts greasy. Be sure to apply liberally.

Cheaper and less greasy than Glide Stick, November 2, 2010
By The Chadd
|
|
I'm a runner, and I have been using Glide Stick for years. Glide Stick is very expensive, and I used a lot of it. I decided to try Chamois Butt'r as a cheaper alternative. I have been using it for about three weeks, and it works great! The longest run I've gone while using it is 7 miles, no chafing! It's a lot cheaper and less greasy than Glide Stick. I highly recommend it.

It's wonderful.

Great substitute for VASELINE. No more 'Hurting Butt'!, May 4, 2010
By Jose Mario R. Rolim (Sao Paulo, Brazil)
|
|
I've bought one of these because of the RANDONNÉE (AUDAX) events that cyclist do. Because we can ride a bike during more than 10 hours (sometimes 30, 40 hours), even without sleep, we need POWERFUL legs (and butts!)
Of course I was an unbeliever. 'Let me test it', I told one AUDAX BRAZIL organizer.
In order to protect the area, we can use vaseline or products like Chamois, which, for me, was A LOT better (I can say, 300% better)! But you must use more than ONE application that the instructions say (until 1 ounce), so you have 8 BIG servings using this. However, some conversative people optimize its usage, which can take till 20 servings before buying another.
Some people (like one of my friends) can say 'oh, I saw no improvement', but it surelly does have! The problem, of course, is that everyone is different, so you have to test it before giving opinions and making jokes. However, for people who rides for HOURS, this can help 95% of people FOR SURE. For me, it worked perfectly. No pain, no hurting, even after the ride (and a hot shower). We feel like we didnt ride a meter!
The Randonnée 1000km is near, so we're prepared!

Only stuff I use anymore, April 23, 2010
By Michael L. Vidrine
|
|
I've tried a number of different similar products and this is the only one I use anymore. I ride 150 to 200 miles per week and sometimes more on multiday tours. No problems with this stuff even on a recent 6 day - 300 mile tour - all in the rain.

Great for long distances, July 18, 2009
By HZ (Cambridge, MA)
|
|
This stuff works. It does great on long distances for both running and biking. It's not greasy but stays put and works for hours. I use this in those places that chafe and it really helps! It also doesn't smell, nor does it it build up in my shoes.

Works ok, smells a little funny, September 4, 2011
By The Sleepless Reviewer (Los Angeles, CA, United States)
|
|
Works okay but there are definitely better products, BodyGlide and Monistat's anti-chafing cream. It didn't last long as the other products I've used. I bought this one because I was looking for a cream version of BodyGlide. Also, I noticed that my hand was sticky and smelled funny after using the product.

Smooth & Effective, October 25, 2010
By Dukefan (Raleigh, NC)
|
|
This product is GREAT. I ride bikes and play several sports where I sweat a right much. I needed a product to prevent chaffing. I have tried many products but most are too thick or too thin. Butt'r is thick enough to be effective without being gooey thick. It is smooth and soothing to the skin. I use Butt'r almost everyday and am extremely satisfied.

Marketed for Bicyclists- Good for many other uses, September 14, 2010
By Karen Stockdale (Sammamish, WA United States)
|
|
Chamois Butt'r Skin Lubricant is marketed to bicylists. However, this is a great product for anyone who needs serious moisturizing. I have a chronic rash on my foot that needs moisturizing several times per day and I generally use Vaseline which is goopy and greasy. Chamois Butt'r is so much better because it is not greasy in the slightest- the texture is creamy and well- I just like it a whole lot better than vaseline. Anyone who has dry, patchy skin or chafing on any part of the body should give this product a try.

Great Non-Greasy Product, April 5, 2010
By Rudolph (Richmond, Virginia USA)
|
|
During the summers I work 12 hours a day logging. After a long day, I was often severly chaffed. I tried a few different items to prevent chaffing. All of the ones I tried worked, but this product was superior. The other products I tried were greasy, and uncomfortable. I don't think putting greasy items when sweating hard under the hot July sun is the best way to go. This went on easy, felt more like a lotion/cream and shortly after application I did not know it was on. What I did notice is that the chaffing was gone!

Better sitting on a bike, January 29, 2010
By CT Yank (Seminole, FL USA)
|
|
I have used this cream for the last three years. It really works and is a lot cheaper than some of the other stuff on the market. Whether I use it as a topical cream or on my chamois in my biking short, this helps me spend a few hours in the saddle.

It works, February 20, 2010
By LCSW (Kokomo, IN)
|
|
I bought 2 similar products so I could compare how they worked. My goal was to make a decision on which I would buy in the future. This is easy to apply and did a better job during long bike rides. It however did not seem as effective at remedying any chafing that occurred during the ride. The other product was much better. May try the tub next time to cut down on potential waste getting it all out of the tube. Will probably continue buying both products and using them for their strengths.

My husband uses this when he rides his bike. He thinks it is the greatest stuff and won't use anything else. It is the only product that stops the chaffing cause from riding long distances.

Great product!, June 25, 2011
By stokerqueen

The old saying "If momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy" really applies. This product is a MUST for any biking over 10 miles. Apply directly to pad of shorts and you can ride all day without chafe or hot spots. Since I started using Chamois Butt'r (ride tandem bike over 2K miles per year) I have been one happy stoker!

Like butter., June 21, 2011
By Kuikenm
|
|
I use this to protect the tush while riding. I have a pair of road shorts that I wouldn't be able to wear without chamois butt'r due to harsh seams. Had no problems since. I use it all the time now, even with my much nicer bibs and shorts that I have never had trouble with. Seems to last a while too. I am about halfway through one bottle and I have used it about 20 times now. I haven't had to reapply during a ride, but I also haven't got over 50 miles at a time yet. I could see you needing more, but you get plenty of miles out of each application at least.

Used Chamois Butt'r for the 1st time on a 76 mile ride. Awesome product... should be called magic butt'r. No discomfort during the ride... highly recommended. Considering to use it on my knee tendonitis. :)

Ah... That Feels Much Butt'r, May 25, 2011

Slap some on your unmentionables and they'll thank you for it later.
It doesn't feel sticky or slimy, like I was afraid of. Makes those long rides much more bearable. I highly recommend it.

Works well but irritates sensitive skin!, September 11, 2011

Works well but irritates sensitive skin! This product is great and it is easy to apply, works well and isn't perfumed in any way. However, this still irritates my skin and leaves me feeling uncomfortable before and after bike riding!

VERY GOOD PRODUCT, September 10, 2011
By CHOCOLATE (OMAHA NE USA)
|
|
I bought this for my daughter and let me say she has very bad eczema. I have been back and forth to the doctor trying to get some type of cream for her that actually works. I was about to order bag balm for her because I have used that in the past BUT I read the reviews about Chamois Butt'r. I had to try it. I was amazed at how fast this cream worked. My daughter's skin is soooo dry I know it hurts her sometimes especially her hands. When I put this cream on her it immediately went to work. None of the creams from the Dr's office worked this fast. I don't see my daughter scratching like she normally do and it keeps moisture in her skin. I will be ordering again for sure.

Butt'r, January 13, 2012
By Shelli
|
|
The product comes in a good sized tube which lasts awhile. For mild issues this product works pretty well, my situation appears to be more serious so it works about 50% of the time. I run/walk long distances and it does not seem to last for more then about an hour but is effective in that amount of time. I also have very sensitive skin so there are times when it burns a little bit, but nothing serious. All that said, I would recommend the product for most.

Works flawlessly, December 3, 2011
By Gilbert Lim
|

If you are into endurance sports(running,triathlons,duathlons,road/mtb cycling)then this is an absolute must buy. I do not train or race without this in my high chafed areas. I've been using this for 6 years and I've used bodyglide, this is the one to get period. Having this on me absolutely eliminates my worries of any chafing and the dreaded raw skin after my workouts.

Great product, October 6, 2011
By Stephan Briggs (Philadelphia/New Jersey)
|

I had started up competitive and long distance biking about 9 months ago. I signed up for the MS150 bike ride and was training about 50 miles a day when I started to experience some serious discomfort. I was told to get some bike lube/butter and it did not disappoint. Instantly it provides cooling relief and after a few minutes I could not even tell I had any problems at all!
Highly recommend. The bottle is somewhat big and not recommended in your bike jersey pockets. Get the smaller sizes for that.

Chamois Butt'r for Biking, October 6, 2011
By Louise
|
|
I was showering after a long RAGBRAI ride, moaning because I was hurting so much, when a fellow-rider asked me if I had ever used Chamois Butt'r. She gave me a sample which I gratefully accepted. I have used it on every ride since and have had no more private-part-pain. If you bike a lot, you will understand what a benefit this product is. I use it directly on the skin. An amazing find, and much cheaper than purchasing from the bike shops if you order two from Amazon and save on the S&H charge.
